Aiming to Write History for Brazil at Paris Olympics
Hungarian entrepreneur Arie Yom Tov is expanding his collaboration with Brazilian paralympian Rodolpho Riskalla. Riskallah received the ride on Grand Prix horse Irish Coffee BH in the autumn.
Rodolpho lost both legs below the knees, all the fingers on his right hand and some from the left due to bacterial meningitis in 2015. He went on to ride at the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio and at 2021 Tokyo Paralymbics. Yom Tov and Riskalla want to sponsor Rodolphi to compete in the next Olympics in Paris and also in able-bodied Olympic Games for Brazil. Riskalla wants to qualify for the Pan Ams and hopefully for Olympics.
Rodolpho is showing Denzel and King Leatherdale at Grand Prix level. Rodolphos aim to qualify for the Olympic Games in 2023. Denel is by Zorion x Truppa and was previously shown at international Grand Grand prix level by Thamar Zweistra. King leatherdale is a 7-year-old Dutch warmblood by Lord Leather Dale x Ronaldo.
Riskalla was elected to the newly created World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Athletes’ Council. She trains with Holga Finken in preparation of his 2023-2024 campaign.
